Medium sized traditional Newcastle pub that was first established 1836. The bar first became popular with grocers and tutors in Brandling Village. It also has a naval connection due to its name and shape. The pub has retained many of its original features with leaded windows to the front. It has a long bar and a wooden floor and there are old pictures of Newcastle and Lord Collingwood adorning the walls.
